Fog over Carolina Cloud Lake, providing a "blue" emphasis within the Blue Ridge Mountains, in Fairview, near Asheville, North Carolina, US
With the sun rising behind Aldo Brando, the photographer, these anti-crepuscular rays were spotted. Anti-crepuscular rays appear when tall clouds in front of the rising or setting sun cast long shadows across the sky which can be seen receding off into the distance when facing away from the sun, as was the case here, near Bogota, Colombia.

As Monica aptly describes, the "San Francisco fog is legendary, rolling dramatically and massively through the Golden Gate Strait from the Pacific Ocean into the San Francisco Bay, playing stunning, moment by moment now-you-see-it-now-you-don’t games with the bridge." This classic example was spotted near the Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco, California, US.
